Food for thought: How should yarn work based on PRJ_CACHE_HOME

[gytis-ivaskevicius]

The way I understand node_modules should be under $PRJ_CACHE_HOME but yarn is able to symlink node modules to reduce the amount of duplicate modules between projects

Does this mean that this PRJ_CACHE_HOME is not supported for this use-case or should only symlinks be under PRJ_CACHE_HOME?

I think it is ok to use both, symlinks and files, under any PRJ_ directory. I would see any constraints.

The fact that a cache manager deduplicates using symlink does not alter the project's view into that cache.

It's transparent.
